Dear Adam
Thank you for your Official Information Act request, transferred to me on 26 January
2024. You requested the following:
1. Please provide all correspondence between government ministers and
Cameron Slater (formerly of Whale Oil blog and subject of the "Dirty Politics
book).
2. Pease provide any information with regards to any meetings between Mr
Slater and any government ministers.
I have not corresponded or met with Cameron Slater. Therefore, your request is
refused under section 18(e) of the OIA, as the document alleged to contain the
requested information does not exist.
This reply addresses the information you requested. You have the right to ask the
Ombudsman to investigate and review my decision.
Yours sincerely
Hon Nicola Willis
Minister of Finance
Minister for the Public Service
Minister for Social Investment
Associate Minister of Climate Change
